What Infinite Worlds Means
Infinite Worlds means Jason’s life is not surrounded by a few alternatives. The Box opens access to branching realities that can multiply without a clear endpoint.
Why Infinity Becomes Horror
Infinity sounds liberating until Jason realizes that every branch can create another claim, another loss, or another version of himself desperate for home.
Why There Is No Perfect World
Dark Matter rejects the fantasy of a perfect reality. Every world carries a cost, and some costs only become visible after the door is opened.

The Box is the multiverse machine that lets travelers enter superposition and open doors into alternate worlds shaped by mental state.
Jason1 is the original Jason from the opening reality, whose life is stolen by Jason2 and who fights through the multiverse to return to Daniela and Charlie.
